the songs don’t rhyme! Ahhh! It hurts my ears! It’s like they are purposfully not rhyming them to piss poeple off, and make them go,

_sigh_

At least the girls in the commercials ar cute.

Hm. I’m not sure “vacuous” even begins to cover it. They have the same soulless look in their eyes that I’ve seen in mannequins and serial killers. If that group showed up at my place, I would dive out my window to get the hell away.

The fact that they exist.

They’re among the few commercials that make me frantically stab for the mute button.
